Dinepensahan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang hanay ng Presidential Security Group (PSG) sa balitang nagpabakuna ang ilang miyembro nito ng “unregistered COVID-19 vaccines”.
Pahayag ni P-Duterte, “Itong vaccine sa PSG, to me it’s a matter of self-preservation. Whatever be your objection, whatever be your criticism, para sa akin, it is a matter of preservation.
“So hanggang diyan na lang ako, I will not elaborate on it. But do not force my hand to meddle into this affair… “Ginawa nila ito as I understand para sa kapakanan ng buhay nila so if they will be called to testify in Congress, as a lawyer, I will just tell them… because they are now being accused and with the accompanying statement of prosecution and things like that… If that is the case then I would ask the PSG to just shut up. Do not answer. Invoke the right against self-incrimination at wala kayong makukuha and do not force my soldiers to testify against their will.
"'Wag ninyong i-contempt-contempt na i-detain ninyo. I do not think that it will be good for you and for me, it would not be healthy for everybody.
Sa kanila ‘yan, eh. Kung tingin nila na ikabubuti sa buhay nila, hayaan mo.”
Aniya pa, “Do not answer. And maybe even, I will not allow them to appear in Congress.”
Saad din ni P-Duterte sa Congress, “Let them be and let them suffer kung merong adverse effect ‘yung vaccine.”
Hindi rin umano alam ni P-Duterte kung ano ang brand ng vaccine na ginamit ng PSG.
Buwelta rin ng pangulo sa mga nagsasabing kino-cover up lang umano ang PSG, “Do not presume na sabi, kino-cover up, put*ng in* kayo.
Wala akong… hindi ako g*go na maglaro ng ito... If I say that I will allow them, I will allow them. But I did not because they had it on the wrong. Pero kung gusto kong sabihin na for emergency purposes you give the vaccines, wala nang istorya ‘yan. Wala akong i-cover-cover. Hindi ako tarant*do kagaya ninyo. Eh, ‘yung utak ninyo, mahina, eh.
“So what would stop me by saying ‘Sige, pa-injection kayong lahat’? All the armed forces?
“You just don’t know the life of a soldier. Ako, matagal ako sa executive, I always have security beside me noon pa, matagal na, for 23 years. Add another 5 years. “Alam ko ang buhay ng security, so ‘wag mo silang pakialaman. I will ask them to shut up and not to answer any question.”
